A close encounter with lions
Category: Lion Guardian reports | Date: Jul 29 2008 | By: lionguardians
Guardian Ritei was extremely surprised when he woke up yesterday morning to find lion tracks right outside his boma gate. There have not been any lions around his area for the last two months!
I drove the lion tracking equipment over to Ritei straight away, so he could find out whether the tracks belonged to one of our collared lions, or some new lions that have moved into the area.  Â
He will be reporting his findings to us once he confirms whether they have collars or not. If not, maybe these lions could join our other collared animals for monitoring.
